Strange network dropouts

I've been scratching my head on this one for a while, so i'm hoping one of you will see something i'm missing.

(simplified layout)

2 sites connected with direct buried fiber. 6509sup720 on the main site (lan and server farm subnets), 3570emi on the remote site. Randomly the remote site will lose connectivity to specific servers in the server farm. Unable to ping one server, but can ping servers in the same subnet as the unavailable server. A few minutes later the device will be available again (sometimes coinciding with a reboot or a windows network connection "repair").

The PCs on the main site lan do not have this problem and the server is accessible by them even when it is not for the remote site (so the server is up). It does appear to happen to multiple PCs at the same time on the remote site (I have not been able to confirm that it is inaccessible for all at the remote site yet.)

This is a sporatic problem so it's hard to troubleshoot since i can't recreate it. Any ideas what i should be looking for, or what could cause a single device to "disappear" from a PC's access. Below is a brief post of the 3750 config, showing most of the basic commands and a typical pc port and the uplink to the main site:

No ideas yet? any ideas on what to look for?

Problems with duplexing? Can you do a sh int for the switchport that the server is connected to and post the results here? Did you say that the local users NEVER see a problem, but the remote users cannot see the servers for a time? Can you also post the sh int from the interfaces that connect the two sites?
